Thanks Ken and TDTZ: Thanks so much for the advice on the water!! Will carry 1 L to Trail Camp - since I have a Steripen - and then switch to 3 L. I can always drink Sherpa's water if I run out.

TDTZ: Your posts, and Akichow and Bulldog's are great. I just love the pictures especially, the dog and the marmot. Also, and I am sure many first timers feel this way, the most informative posts for us are the ones done by people who are willing to share their bad experiences (as well as good) such as with AMS and how to overcoming it. The 25% of the population that NEVER have any altitude problems at all (like my Sherpa) and are fun to read about. But I think I am like most people - coming from sea level, I'm okay at 10k, but I start to get a low grade headache at 11K. This forum has been so helpful. That is why I've got the Diamox prescription, and am staying 2 nights at Onion Valley.

SHERPA WANTS ME TO ASK: How cold does it get at night at Trail Camp versus Outpost? I've relayed what I've learned to Sherpa and he said that I'm taking a down jacket. I said that I looked at the link in Akichow's post, and it looks like it gets to 32 degrees at Outpost. Sherpa wanted me to ask if anyone knows how cold it is at Trail Camp. I don't know. Sherpa now says that I need to bring long underwear. Also, I was planning on taking fleece/leather gloves.
Sherpa still is talking about camping at Outpost before we (hopefully) summit and also after. I think it is because he (secretly without admitting it) wants to drop his load. Then get up early and hike 7 miles up, and down, without the pack. And camp a second night Outpost again. But if we feel good he may change his mind.

I wonder if you can you cook regular Ramen or spaghetti in a freezer bag? I love the link on food in Akichow's post and definitely want the freezer bag approach. Most of the recipes calls for baked ramen. Anyone know if regular ramen works? Anyone know any freeze dried food that tastes really good? Unfortunately, Sherpa already ran out and bought Mary Jane's Mac and Cheese (I had told him to get the one with sugar snap peas), and he got Chicken a la King. Was going to try to get the blueberry cheesecake until I read TDTZ's post.
We will be staying at Onion Valley. Akichow's posts were the reason I made reservations a long time ago there.
